Why South Lyon homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in South Lyon starts leaking after one of Michigan’s 70-mph storm gusts, you don’t want to wait three weeks for an out-of-area contractor to swing by. South Lyon is about 30 miles northwest of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 40 minutes via I-96 West to the Milford Road exit. We cover the whole Metro Detroit area, and we’re one of the established roofing companies you can call when something happens to your roof tonight.

For 20+ years we’ve been replacing, repairing, and maintaining residential and commercial roofs across Metro Detroit. We’re veteran-owned and family-run. The crew that quotes your roof is the crew you’ll see on it. And if you get a written quote from another licensed roofer in the South Lyon area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

South Lyon homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

South Lyon started as a railroad town, and the old grid around Lafayette and Lake streets still carries the original stock — modest gable-front and upright-and-wing houses with steep pitches, narrow eaves, porch roofs tied into the main wall and tall unlined brick chimneys. That’s flashing work, not shingle work. The bulk of the city, though, came in between the 1950s and the 1970s: brick ranches, tri-levels and Cape Cods with shallow, simple slopes, small original soffit vents and attics that were never balanced for a modern shingle. Then the last three decades brought the colonials and new-traditional homes in subdivisions like Andover Creek and the ranch-style 55+ housing at Colonial Acres, with wide multi-plane roofs, front-facing gables, dormers and garage-return valleys. Mature oaks over the older streets keep valleys packed with debris, and the mix of 1960s decking and 2000s framing means we plan every tear-off around what’s actually under the shingle.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on 1950s-70s ranch, tri-level and Cape Cod slopes as well as the multi-plane colonial roofs in South Lyon’s newer subdivisions
Tear-offs down to clean deck with full ice-and-water shield at the eaves — required for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles
Ridge vent and soffit ventilation upgrades that keep older, retrofitted attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the brick chimneys standard on South Lyon’s railroad-era and midcentury housing

If your home is in the 48178 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason South Lyon homeowners call us

Southeast Michigan storm seasons are getting more aggressive. Most seasons bring at least one round of 60 to 70 mph wind gusts and hail across the area. Wind lifts and tears shingles. Hail leaves invisible bruises that turn into leaks two storms later. Then ice dams in February finish the job.

When you call after a storm, we’ll:

Inspect free, no obligation — full walk of the roof, photos of damage, written summary
Help you with the insurance claim — we’ll meet your adjuster on-site if needed
Tarp the roof same-day if there’s an active leak
Schedule the repair or replacement with same-week availability for most jobs

We’ve been doing storm response across Metro Detroit long enough that local insurance adjusters know our work.
